In a surprising development, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been named by Bleacher Report as one of the quarterbacks who could potentially be benched during the 2025 NFL season.
The report, published this week, cited concerns over Tagovailoa’s consistency, injury history, and questions about his long-term fit in the Dolphins’ evolving offensive system under new leadership. While Tua has shown flashes of brilliance since being drafted in 2020, critics argue that the team may eventually look to explore other options—especially if postseason results continue to fall short.
“Tua has had moments where he looks like a franchise QB,” the article states. “But Miami is entering a win-now window, and patience may be wearing thin if the team starts slowly in 2025.”
Fans and analysts have already taken to social media to defend the 26-year-old signal-caller, pointing to his impressive 2023 stats and leadership qualities. Still, with the Dolphins facing growing pressure to perform, the spotlight on Tua is intensifying.
The team has not responded to the speculation, and as of now, Tagovailoa remains the clear starter heading into training camp. However, this latest list from Bleacher Report adds more fuel to the ongoing conversation about his future in Miami.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Tua—not just to keep his starting job, but to prove he can lead the Dolphins deep into the playoffs.
